Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hey! I'm going to dive right in... Ok, I am good with my spelling (if I may say so myself), I am, in fact, used to having to correct people with grammar. My English teacher is quite... picky, as is my mum. So yeah...
I love to read. Really love reading. So I'm really looking forward to being able to read lots of work from developing writers. I write myself, of course else I wouldn't be able to be a Betareader.
Although one point, should be quite obvious, but anyway... I will only be a good beta if I'm listened to.
One more thing, I'm British. English. So, as everything I've chosen as preference is actually British in where it's set (except for Japan and the Other Place) I will be beta-ing in UK English (changing Mom to Mum etc) ... except for when it's set in America (like Juno, or AU) xD |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good with my spelling and grammar. And I like to think I've a wide vocabulary, and I do read /a lot/ and know quite a bit about what people like xD. I've been brought up to think bad grammar is essentially the devil at work, so I am picky with grammar xD. And I'm able to give constructive criticism. I do it as tactfully as possible too; I tend not to flame xD. ...And I do know some German and French, if needed. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I can sometimes miss out obvious things... Eg, words which are spelt correctly but not the right word... Like from and form. Most of the time I'll get them, but on occasion... xD |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I quite like doing crossovers and /love/ humour stuff. But to be honest, I really don't mind what I read. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'd rather not be doing hardcore sex stuff (M rated) if it's meant to be a quick horny one-shot or whatever.. xD but then I guess you wouldn't really bother getting it beta-ed... I don't really mind, I guess. |
